Cleveland Choro

Celebrate the vibrant rhythms of choro at Cleveland Choro, a free afternoon of Brazilian music at Treelawn Social Club. This unique genre blends African-based rhythms with European instrumentation, creating complex chord progressions and syncopated improvisations. Often described as the music Brazilian musicians play among themselves, choro offers a rich, intimate listening experience.

Hosted by mandolinist Brendan Foreman, the event invites attendees to bring an instrument and join in, with sheet music available upon request. Listeners can simply enjoy the music without participating. The Treelawn Social Club on Waterloo Road provides the setting for this celebration of choro.
